Image very clearly wants all my money and they can have it.
Alright, I will take these all into consideration. Thanks for the help everyone.
Do you think Terry and the Pirates is more significant than Prince Valiant? I was trying to pick the best adventure strip, but opinion seems split on that front. I should also probably get some...
My blood is made of Eggnog.
I've only started getting into comics for about 8 months now, and while I have been enjoying it, I think it is time that I try and get a broader appreciation of the canonical works of cartooning. To...
The best thing this book has going for it so far is its atmosphere created by the stunning art. The city is a character unto itself.
This world is definitely a critique of the grim dark comics that started in the 80s, but it also seems to be critiquing having super heroes grow up at all. The whole plot is about suspending time and...
This is my first book from Valiant, and I like what I see so far. This is obviously an issue meant to introduce the world to people like me, who may not know it, and it does that well. The artwork is...
This was straight up bad and not worthy of being put out by Vertigo. The whole thing felt really generic. The one character we get any sort of prolonged exposure has nothing interesting or fresh...
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed by this issue. The "twist" was pretty well telegraphed in the first issue, and thus wasn't surprising at all. There wasn't a whole lot of character development...
*Spoilers*
I think I am somewhere in the middle. I didn't hate it, in fact I liked it, but it certainly has it flaws. I like how the tone of the book is very grand with the epic poetry style...
That wasn't the last page in mine. There were 3 pages of story after that. Also, didn't you guys read the huge pullout timeline. That sets up a lot of the story, although admittedly it is a bit much...
Fantastic issue. I just with someone other than Quitely with his lumpy play-doh style was drawing it.
Pretty Deadly is the best comic I've ever experienced. I can only hope the second arc is coming soon.
Has anyone received their Complete Little Nemo yet?

I am getting sick of buying comics only to find that they contain hardly any story within. It seems like a lot of writers are writing to the trade and the monthlies suffer because of this. If I'm...
Thor the Mighty Avenger is a great all ages superhero comic that doesn't require any deep knowledge of continuity. It is a lot of fun and has beautiful art. I would start there.
If someone had just seen one of the movies making up Marvel's cinematic universe and this caused them to want to try reading the comics which run could you point to as the one closest to the movie?...
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
I didn't mean antiquated as an insult. I think it is definitely art that has and will continue to stand the test of time, but at the same time it isn't an art style that you see now a days in comics...
Both Hal Foster and Alex Raymond seem to have an antiquated illustrative style yet their work is so sublime. I could stare at some of their panels for 20 minutes. Are there any more artists with...
If I were to only get one Marvel Omnibus which one is the most essential?
Are there any monthly comics either now or in the past that have been created entirely by female creators; where the writer, the inker, the colorist, and the letterer have all been female? I'm just...
